第一篇：2013年12月星火英语四级模拟预测卷作文10套（定稿）

Test 1 The Impact of Electronic Products on Family Reunion

The picture depicts an authentic scene of family get-together.Everyone sits around the dinner table for the family reunion;However, oddly, both children and young adults immerse themselves in electronic products like iPhones or iPads, leaving their old parents looking at each other speechlessly.In fact, family reunion provides a good opportunity for family members to spend quality time together, build positive memories, and keep bonds of kinship.However, it makes no sense if everyone indulges in the fantastic world of electronic devices, searching the latest information, updating or following their microblogs or simply playing fascinating games.What they want is only their children's company.How disappointed and upset they would be if we turn a blind eye to their real needs.Personally, I firmly insist that youngsters share more time with their parents or grandparents.Electronic products are updating and changing from time to time, but our invaluable kinship exists eternally.Test 2

Self-confidence Pays

One of the most popular sentences online states that “Remember...always act like you're wearing an invisible crown.” What the saying

indicates is the importance of self-confidence, an attitude that we take towards ourselves.Here are two main reasons why we should be confident.firstly, it is the foundation of individual success.In reality, to achieve even the smallest goals, and to get through daily duties, and responsibilities in life, we have to have self-confidence.For example, when we go for a job interview, if our body language gives any indication of uncertainty, the interviewer may pick up on that and probably will give the job to someone else.Second, a confident man is less likely to fall into fear, anger and depression.The more confident we are, the less disappointed we will feel upon being rejected.To conclude, self-confidence will enable us to succeed and persevere through setbacks, while lack of confidence will definitely have a negative effect on our social relations, career achievements and even our mood.Test 3 My View on Examination-Oriented Education

Where there is education, there come examinations.In the picture, a student express his feeling:“ I study.I take the test.I pass it, and then I forget what I learnt.” Though humorous, this cartoon is thought-provoking and makes us think: Do students really benefit from exams?

There is no denying that test results can be used to motivate students

to learn more.However, such examination-oriented education is fairly controversial and cannot achieve the expected goal to improve students' study.It is not rare that many students cram hard for the tests and get good results.Unfortunately, the minute they finish the papers, they seemingly forget everything they have learnt.Hence, it's high time that we reformed this examination-oriented education.Otherwise, there will be an increase in the number of test takers who get high scores but cannot apply theory into practice.Test 4

Exhaust Fumes

In the cartoon, many automobiles, like a host of pests, are chewing up a green leaf bit by bit.From the drawing we can easily identify what the author intends to convey: As emissions from millions of vehicles on the road increase, exhaust fumes become the major polluter.Along with the growth of economy, China has witnessed more and more automobiles running on the streets.As a result, many cities suffer from severe air pollution due to gas emissions.Needless to say, automotive emissions not only cause severe environmental problems, but potentially do harm to people's health.In my opinion, a wide array of solutions should be adopted to address this issue.First, the government should arise the public's awareness of environmental protection and encourage the use of

eco-friendly automobiles.Second, every citizen is duty-bound to protect the environment.In a nutshell, it is imperative that both authorities and individuals take joint efforts to combat air pollution from traffic fumes Test 5 College Students' Choice of Reading Materials

The pie chart above illustrates the proportion of four kinds of reading materials chosen by college students.Newspapers account for 44% of their reading material, twice as much as magazines which constitute 22%, while fictions and textbooks only make up 18% and 16% respectively.It is evident that college students spend the majority of their time on newspapers, but much less on the rest of reading materials.There are two main reasons for it.First, compared with other reading materials, newspapers can help college students learn what is happening in the world every day.Second, all kinds of newspapers, ranging from foreign language newspapers, sports newspapers to entertainment newspapers, can cater to different needs of college students.Along with the increased amount of time spent on newspapers, some problems arise.The most serious one is that college students spend less and less time reading classics, which are the essence of literature.Therefore, it is urgent that college students choose reading materials in a proper way.Test 6

The Key to Be Useful

Different people hold quite different opinions about the key to be useful.Many people assert that personal abilities count for much.They maintain such an idea because a lot of people stand out from their peers for their remarkable capacities.However, others believe that opportunities play a vital role in one's success, which helps to explain why some people rise above while others similarly talented are left behind.As far as I'm concerned, the internal capabilities are much more important than external opportunities.First, there are various chances in our society but only those who are prepared adequately can make good use of them to achieve their goals.Second, without a ready mind, good opportunities may slip through one's fingers.Last but not least, no matter whether there are favorable opportunities or not, what we should do is to study, to struggle, and to improve ourselves.In a word, we can take advantage of opportunities to achieve success but never can they be the only cause of success.Test 7

Styles of living

Some people enjoy living together with their parents after they have grown up.They hold that they can take of their parents better when living with them.Meanwhile, they can turn to their parents for help if they get

into trouble or have some difficulties.others, however, prefer to live on their own.They cherish the idea of being independent of their parents, seeking more freedom and wishing to have a place of their own, in which they can do whatever they like.Besides, they don't want to be overprotected by their parents but long for a chance to face the society by themselves.As for me, I like an independent lifestyle in spite of the fact that I love my parents.Living separately, each generation can enjoy their own life.In addition, by leading an independent life, I can develop my ability to deal with things encountered in my life.Test 8 Blackboard-Writing or PowerPoint

Along with the development of modern techniques, more and more teachers are using PowerPoint rather than blackboard and chalks in their teaching.When asked about which is better, some students say they prefer the using of PowerPoint since it is vivid and interesting.But some other students claim that the traditional blackboard-writing is more helpful.When compared with blackboard-writing, PowerPoint has its own limitations.First, it can distract students' attention.Teachers usually use elements such as sound, images and flashes, which might distract the students from the knowledge they are supposed to grasp.Second, it may

overload the students with too much information.As a consequence, many a student cannot focus their attention for a long time, le alone grasp the knowledge.In my opinion, although PowerPoint is used widely nowadays, it still has its limitations.Our traditional blackboard-writing should be preserved rather than be abandoned.Test 9

Power Supply All Night

Some college students hope that their dormitory can have power supply all night so that they can stay up as late they like to study or to surf the Internet.And also, regardless of severe coldness or blistering heat, they can enjoy the air-conditioner, or at least the smaller electrical appliance to carry them through.In fact, there are some opposing voices.Some people thin power supply all night will give students chances to indulge themselves in computer games.Even those who are really studying may disturb their roommates' rest.Secondly, it would be a huge burden for the power resources.Thirdly, it may lead to disasters such ad fire.As for me, I applaud the idea of power supply all night because of all the benefits mentioned above.I admit it does have shortages, but I think we should learn to deal with them.Cutting off power is a simple but irresponsible way which is not humane enough.Test 10

Studying Abroad

Studying to enter a good university and graduating with a bachelor's degree used to be a big event in young people's lives.But nowadays, they are not confined to the universities abroad have opened their doors to Chinese students.As a college student, I feel blessed with such opportunities.In addition to the advanced facilities and prestigious professors, different teaching methods, various cultures and the communication with people from different parts of the world can be very valuable experience that will benefit us a lot in the future.After graduation, people with the advanced knowledge and newly-acquired skills can serve our country better.With the understanding and appreciation of other cultures, they will develop good communication skills.In short, studying abroad is beneficial to both the young people and the country.Doing Big Things Starts From Doing the Small Ones

As is vividly revealed in the picture, the boy express his worries about the disposal of nuclear wastes, while his father asks him to empty the dustbin in the room first.The picture reminds us of an old Chinese saying--If you don't like to do trivial things like cleaning your room, it's

impossible for you to undertake any important task.Undoubtedly, the symbolic meaning conveyed in the picture should be given deep consideration that it is vital and necessary to deal with trivial things.Doing small things well may help us develop the good qualities needed in undertaking important tasks, which lays a solid foundation for our future development.More often these small things would make the difference between success and failure.We all know that the want of a horse shoe nail may cause a kingdom to be lost.Therefore, when it comes to the key to success, the most important thing lies in dealing with every trivial thing well around us.In a word, for college students, to achieve goals needs not only the great ambition, but also the practical spirit of dealing with trivial things from the beginning.Only in this way can we achieve great success.On the Importance Of Reading Literature

As is vividly depicted in the picture, a teacher asks her student to read a work of literature and tells him “Just think of it ad if you're reading a long text-message.” Nevertheless, fewer people are willing to sit down and enjoy good literary works nowadays.Works of literature may seem to be very old, but their importance has not faded away.We can benefit a lot from reading them.To begin with, they bring us a wide range of intellectual benefits, such as

expanding our vocabulary and developing our thoughts.Furthermore, they broaden our horizons.Reading works of literature can help us understand the ordinary people and their everyday lives described in the books, which are quite different from those of our time.Lastly, they entertain us in a subtler way.With the advantage of television, people have lost their interest in reading works of literature.However, we can understand the life more deeply by reading them.In conclusion, works of literature are something not to be tossed out.By reading them we can enjoy an enriching and eye-opening experience, which we will always cherish.

请参考作文地带提供原版中文翻译范文：

As is illustrated in the picture, a student is excessively fond of computer game so that he can not see anything suddenly.Accordingly, the fact that students being on the rise spent their spare time playing computer games such as CS has aroused great concern and should be given enough consideration.There is no doubt that its symbolic meaning that it is imperative to prevent them from indulging in CG ought to be taken seriously.正如图中所示，一个学生沉迷于网络游戏以至于忽略了周围所有其它的事。因此，学生们越来越多的将闲暇时间用于玩如CS的网络游戏的事实已经引起了人们的关注，这件事应该给予足够的重视。毫无疑问，这意味着必须认真对待这件事以防他们沉迷于游戏。

To account for the above-mentioned case, several effects arisen from CG should be put forward.To begin with ,taking to CG too much impair players’health especially eyes, just like being revealed in the picture.In addition, the growing number of students neglect their studies, idle away their time and even commit crimes thanks to CG., which is threatening situation we are unwilling to see.No better illustration of this idea can be thought than the example as mentioned below, a student, who had wanted to play CG but had little money ,made a reckless move to waylay and rob.CG, in some sense, is just like Pandora’s box, which gives rise to some undesirable results unexpectedly.Therefore, no issue is as crucial to individual and national survival and prosperity as bringing CG under control in China.为了解决上述问题，应该重点考虑网络游戏造成的几方面后果。首先，最重要的是玩网络游戏会对玩游戏的人的健康尤其是眼睛带来伤害，这也是图片信息中说明。此外，由网络游戏引起的学生荒废学业、挥霍时间甚至犯罪的人数增加。这是我们不愿面对的情形。以下例子可以很好的说明这一事实，一个想玩网络游戏却没有钱的学生，最终决定铤而走险去抢劫。网络游戏从某种意义上看正如潘多拉的盒子，它提供给人一种不可预知的可供期待的结果。在中国适当控制网络游戏无论对于个人还是国家的生存都是很关键的。

From what have been argued above , it is necessary that some effective steps be carried out to check CG.On one hand, it is demanding for the government to make law to ban CG full of sex and violence on sale.On the other hand, we should assume our responsibilities and spare no effort to bring home people the awareness of harms concerning CG.Only by undergoing these measures, can we make our youths live in healthy life style, which has just gone to the heart of building up the cordial society.From joozone.com.综上所述，为了应对网络游戏问题国家必须采取一些有效措施。一方面，政府有必要制定法律禁止出售黄色和有暴力倾向的网络游戏。另一方面，我们每个人都有责任不遗余力的让家人了解网络游戏的危害性。只有通过采取这些措施，才能使我们的青少年以健康的生活方式生活，这也与建立和谐社会主义的核心思想不谋而合。

四级英语作文预测主题之第四位：竞争相关 请参考作文地带提供带原版翻译的范文：

Competition is a common phenomenon in our social life.We compete when we play games and when we try to do better than others in our study.There is constant competition for academic degrees, jobs, customers, money and so forth.In a sense, competition is one of the motive force to the development of society.竞争在我们的社会生活中是很普遍的现象。当我们玩游戏的时候和当我们想比别人获得更好的学习成绩的时候，我们都在竞争。对于获得学位，工作，客户和资金等的时候都存在不断的竞争，从某种意义上说，竞争是社会发展的动力之一。

In fact, the only way our world reward people is to give laurels to the winners, not to the losers.What is more, by attempting to compete at different activities, we learn to win and lose, gain experience and know our strengths and weaknesses.Competition prepares us for the tough things in life.事实上，通过竞争世界将桂冠给了优胜者作为人们的回报，而不是失败者。更重要的是，通过尝试不同的竞争活动，我们体会了输赢，获取经验，了解了我们的优缺点。竞争让我们对面对艰难的生活做好准备。来源：http://www.xiexiebang.com/

四级英语作文预测主题之第七位：压力 请参考作文地带提供原版翻译范文：

As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation.Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night,it is hard to slow down.But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body.随着生活节奏的不断加快，我们的娱乐活动越来越少。或许你习惯于奔跑着生活，一天中无时无刻都在赶路，很难停下来。但是放松对于保持健康的身心是必不可少的。

Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it.In fact, it is not the bad thing as it is often supposed to be.A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life.It is only when the stress gets out of control can it lead to poor performance and ill health.压力是日常生活中不可避免的一个组成部分。事实上，有压力是很正常的，这并不是坏事。一定量的压力压力会给生活提供动力。只有当压力不受人的控制时才会影响正常表现以及身体健康。

The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual.Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities.Others lose heart at the first signs of unusual difficulties.When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically.In fact, we make a choice between “flight or fight”and in more primitive days the choices made the difference between life or death.The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it involves the same response.It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered.Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart diseases have established links with stress.Since we cannot remove stress from our lives(it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it.From joozone.com.个人所能承受的压力因人而异。一些人不害怕压力，显然这样性格的人是管理阶层的人选。还有一些人遇到困难的事情时就会灰心丧气。当面对压力的时候，我们的生理和心里都会发生一些变化。事实上，我们会在“战斗或逃跑”间做出选择，这将是生死攸关的选择。当然我们平常遇到的情况并没有这么严重，但是无论压力的大小，它将会导致到同样的后果。当特定的压力持续作用时间很长时，就会对健康造成威胁。这种对健康的危害中，高血压和心脏病都与压力有一定的关系。既然我们无法摆脱生活压力（就算我们人为是可以摆脱压力的，把压力从生活中去除也是不明智的），我们需要找到对付压力的方法。

How To Deal With Depression

In recent years,more and more people have suffered from depression.With the increasingly fierce competition,more and more people are bearing great pressure from study,work and life.Under great pressure, many people begin to become sad,hopeless and finally suffer from depression.Depression has brought great bad influence on one'study, work and life.In fact,depression affects not only one's mind but also his body.Those with severe depression even unable to continue their work or carry out normal activities of depression.The symptoms mainly include feelings of sadness, hopelessness, not wanting food and trouble sleeping.Besides, depression is linked to many other diseases, like heart disease, What's worse, deprssion is one of the main courses of people's suicide.Considering the bad effects of depression, it must be taken more seriously.For those patients with depression, first of all ,it is important to accept treatment timely instead of covering or ignoring the disease.Besides,people shuold learn to release pressure and keep a pleasant mood.Actually,the best treatment is a combination of medication and psychological help.Only in this way can people reduce the chance of suffering from depression.Դ Online games

As a product of modern computer and the Internet, online games have become very popular among college students.Many students have enjoyed great pleasure and satisfaction from these games.But as we see, some students lacking self discipline on too much indulge in these games.So that their health and academic performances are affected.This phenomenon has caused much worry from the teachers and parents.However, some others argue that online games are not always harmful.They can train their ability of youngsters to respond to things quickly.Moreover, they can stimulate their imagination and their interest in computer science.More importantly, it does bring college students much pleasure and release their pressure greatly.Form my point of view, online games are wonderful entertainment if you play them in a clever way.When they interfere too much with your study, it is better for you to give them up at once, but if you have enough self control over them, you can certainly obtain real pleasure and benefit a lot from them.A quarrel in the dormitory

Weeks ago I witnessed the quarrel between my two roommates.It shocked me the two good friends fired out just for a very trifling matter.It was in the morning at weekend when I was washing my face in the bathroom.Suddenly I heard Ann and Sue shouting at each other.I hurried to come out to see what happened.It turned out that the noise of Sue’s closing the door waked Ann, whose bed is just beside the door.Ann thought Sue deliberately closed the door heavily.Sue didn’t have made her fault and said Ann was making trouble out of nothing.So their argument became ambits of quarrel.Though later they stopped quarreling under our persuasion, neither of them would like apologize to the other.Such a quarrel leaves me to think a lot about dormitory harmony.If either Ann or Sue can be a little tolerant or take a better way to express herself, this quarrel, I think, can be avoided easily.It is no doubt that a harmony dormitory life benefits all the members.But it needs our common efforts to build it.How to deal with peer pressure?

College students are often obsessed by peer pressure from their classmates or schoolmates.Facing others’ hard work and good performance in academic and other aspects, many students feel great pressure.Then, how to deal with this kind of peer pressure? The following measures can be taken.First, you should take a careful look at your present level and set a practical object.You needn’t always compare yourselves with those on the top and just make your efforts towards your object.Second, under peer pressure, you shouldn’t feel discouraged and pressed.Instead, you should make it your motivation for harder work.Finally, if you find pressure is nearly beyond your control, you’d better turn to professional psychological guidance.As a college student, I have no way to avoid peer pressure, so I try to figure out the way to do with it well.I set my own goal, including my practical level and my position among the peers.Because of my focus on my own goal, I have no time and energy to think about the pressure.So I’m little troubled by it.To conclude, we should not escape from peer pressure, but learn to make best use of it, since it can hardly be avoided.Travel alone or travel with a companion？

When it comes to a traveling way, different people will offer different opinions.Some people like to travel alone, while others prefer to travel with a companion.Of course every one has different considerations for his preference.Traveling alone one can enjoy more freedom.The traveler can arrange his tour as he wishes.Without the trouble of compromising with others.Morever, traveling alone tends to bring the traveler unexpected surprises, such as making a new friend and enjoying different scenery.Compared with traveling alone, traveling with a companion has also its advantages.For one thing the group members can help and look after each other on the journey.For another traveling with others who have the same interest as you, you can share experiences and pleasure with them.As for me, I prefer to travel with a companion.Firstly, we can together deal with the possible problems and difficulties on the journey.Secondly, I like to share the experience of traveling with others.In summary, both traveling alone and traveling with a companion have their own attractions and you can enjoy the pleasure of traveling from either one.Criticism

It is not unusual for people to be subject to criticism.Anyone may be criticised by others in his work or study.For example: workers who fail to accomplish their tasks will be criticised.Students who have poor performance in exams will be criticised.Attitudes towards criticism differ from person to person.Some people will become annoyed if they are criticised and they will try to excuse themselves by all means.Some people tend to be indifferent criticism.They just regard criticism as nonsenses.But still some people accept criticism modestly and try to find their shortcomings by other's criticism.These people stand a better chance of success in their life.As to me, I welcome other's criticism to me.I have always believed the Chinese saying,“Good medicine but taste bitter will heal one's illness”.In my opinion, the criticism will make us unhappy.It can help us know our shortcomings and inadequacy.Therefore,we should take other's criticism seriously, instead being annoyed with or turning a deaf ear to it.How should college students relieve pressure?

Today’s college students face many pressures, mainly from parents’ expectation, study, economy, employment and all kinds of competition.Although pressure, to some extent, can provide motivation, overdue pressure has a serious negative affect.Pressure can destroy a student’s confidence.More seriously it might make some students lose control of their emotions and behaviors.Considering the great damage of overdue pressure, college students should learn how to relieve pressure.First, we should have a right evaluation of ourselves, so it’s to make use of advantages and avoid disadvantages.Second, we should set a clear aim of struggle.The aim can give us motivation and make us become active.Third, attending collective activities is an effective way to relieve pressure.Finally, if you find pressure is nearly beyond your control, you’d better turn to professional psychological guidance.As to me, my pressure is mainly from future employment.In order to reduce upset, I ask my parents to help me analyze my advantages and disadvantages and produce more practical job objection.So my employment pressure has been relieved greatly.Now I become very confident in my future, and I do believe I can get an ideal job after my graduation.Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Computer Games at Campus.You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below in Chinese: 1.大学生能从计算机游戏中受益； 2.但是现在有太多的人沉迷其中;3.你的看法。

【参考范文】

Computer Games on Campus Today, many college students are absorbed in playing computer games.Maybe there is some truth in the statement that computer games are fun and will train one's reactivity, determination and attention.However, the merits of computer games can never compensate for the negative effects they have.First, it is very time-consuming to play computer games.The game fans have sacrificed almost all their time，thus they have no time to attend class, to take exercises, or even to date.Upon graduation many will regret that they have wasted the precious college time on nothing.Second, the game fans, who spend their time before the lifeless computers, usually overlook their relationship with others.They would find that they have some mental or psychic problems.In my opinion, I don’t think we can benefit a lot from playing computer games.Study should always be given the first priority.Concerning the negative effects listed above, I do hope those game fans can step away from computer games.

第三篇：英语四级预测作文

Social Practice of College Students.社会实践

1）各大学在假期都会组织学生参加各种社会实践活动2）这些活动给大学生带来了哪些好处3）参加社会实践活动应该注意些什么Social Practice of College Students Nowadays many universities encourage and organize students to take part in social practice activities.During the holidays, more and more students choose to be the volunteers, take part-time jobs, or take part in other practical activities alike.It’s obvious that social practice is playing a more and more important role in China’s college education.Undoubtedly, college students have benefited a lot from social practice.Above all, they are provided with more opportunities to contact the real world outside the campus.Moreover, in social practice activities, students can apply their knowledge to the solution to the practical problems.So their practical skills are improved greatly.Besides, social practice helps strengthen students’ sense of social responsibility.Considering the above-mentioned, I think, it is necessary for college students to participate in social practice.However, social practice may bring some problems.For example, some students spend too much time in taking part-time jobs so as to ignore their study.Therefore, we should try to balance the relationship between social practice and study.Extravagant Spending on College Campus.大学生花销1）据调查显示，现在大学生每月的花销越来越高，很多大学生花钱如流水，根本没有节俭的概念

2）分析产生这一现象的原因3）我的看法Extravagant Spending on College Campus According to a survey, in recent years the monthly expenditure of a college student has been on the sharp rise.Many college students spend money like water and have no concept of thrift in their mind.They take it for granted that they spend money from their parents before they enter into the society.This extravagant spending is mainly caused by the following factors.First of all, nowadays most of students are the only children of their families.They are the apple in their family’s eyes and naturally get more care and pocket money.Secondly, with the improvement of living standard, parents can afford higher expenditure of their children.Thirdly, some students like to pursue fashion and trends, which tends to need more money.Finally, campus love is also a possible factor causing extravagant spending.From my point of view, a college student, as a pure consumer, should learn to be thrifty.We should limit our expenditure on daily necessities but not buy whatever we want regardless of their prices.The habit of thrift can help us form right values and is favorable to our future development.Online Games.网络游戏1）现在有一些大学生沉迷于网络游戏，家长和学校对此忧心忡忡 2）但有人认为网络游戏并不是一无是处3）你对此的看法是……Online Games As a product of modern computer and the Internet, online games have become very popular among college students.Many students have enjoyed great pleasure and satisfaction from these games.But as we see, some students lacking self-discipline are too much indulged in these games so that their health and academic performances are affected.This phenomenon has caused much worry from the teachers and parents.However, some others argue that online games are not always harmful.They can train the ability of youngsters to respond to things quickly.Moreover, they can stimulate their imagination and their interest in computer science.More importantly, it does bring college students much pleasure and release their pressure greatly.From my point of view, online games are a wonderful entertainment if you play them in a clever way.When they interfere too much with your study, it is better for you to give them up at once.But if you have enough self-control over them, you can certainly obtain real pleasure and benefit a lot from them.1.目前中国酒驾现象时有发生2.酒驾产生的原因和危害 3.如何杜绝这种现象Nowadays, the phenomenon of drunken driving has arouse wide concern among the public(在公众中引起了广泛关注).Especially the young generation living in metropolis（大都市）, tend to drive after drinking, ignoring the fact that this behavior may pose underlying threat to（对…产生潜在的威胁）their precious life and may even endanger（危害）others.Generally speaking, there are several reasons accounting for this phenomenon.Firstly, the absence of consciousness（意识的确实）of driving security may be one of the leading causes.people participate in more activities or banquets than ever before（比起以前）, where they will drink strong wine（烈酒）.Then, they may get drunk but continue to drive.Secondly, relevant laws and regulations may not have been strictly enforced（严格实施）to warn people not to drive after drinking.Drunken driving is bound to generate severe consequence if we keep turning a blind eye and a deaf ear to it（视而不见，听而不闻）.Firs and foremost, this behavior will directly threaten the safety（威胁…的安全）of drivers, passengers and pedestrians, resulting in traffic accidents, injuries and even deaths.Besides, treating the injured and repairing broken cars means a grievous waste of（令人可悲的浪费）money, time and resources.In view of the seriousness of this problem, effective measures must be taken before things get worse.First, it is essential that the supervisory role（监管的作用）of laws and regulations should be strengthened to impose heavy penalty on（严惩）those who drive after drinking.Secondly, a more extensive education campaign（更大规模的教育活动）should be launched to arouse the public's consciousness of the importance of driving safety.With these measure adopted, I strongly believe that drunken driving will be things of the past（成为过去式）.使用信用卡的原因： 减轻贫困学生的经济负担

a credit card can help release financial burdens on those poor students.使用者能够方便地获得很多优惠

Credit cards enable its users to obtain more service conveniently.解决的措施和建议：

学生不能过度依赖卡，否则他们会养成过度消费的坏习惯

Students should not rely on this excessively, or they will inevitably form a habit of over-consumption.学生应该将信用卡用在合适的地方

Students should use credit cards for some useful purpose.只有这样我们才能真正享受信用卡的好处

Only in this way can college students enjoy really the advantages of credit cards.1、近几年兴起了一股报考国家公务员的热潮

2、分析产生这一现象的原因

3、你对此的看法是……

There is a growing tendency(越来越多的趋势)nowadays that people in mounting numbers have participated in（参加）the test for national civil servants.Millions of students are full of enthusiasm about（热衷于）working as a civil servant.The following reasons can account for this kind of craze.Above all, One of the traditional notions in China is that（中国的传统观念之一是）the more stable the work is，the happier the will be.（工作越稳定，生活越幸福）.Civil servant, as one of the most stable professions in today’s China, becomes their preferable（更合意的）choice.Moreover, in recent years, the salary and welfare（收入和福利）of civil servants also ranks high(排名靠前)among various professions, which undoubtedly（毫无疑问地）attracts many graduates.Besides, the high social status of civil servants is also a factor that can’t be neglected（不容忽视的）.the craze for civil servant is a phenomenon that requires objective recognition.Graduates should not regard being a civil servant as their only choice, It is difficult to say which is the better trade(行业).one can become the master of his trade provided he is diligent and tries hard(只要肯努力，行业无贵贱，行行出状元).Moreover, If most of high quality talents gather in the government departments，it will be a waste of talents and resources and it will exert a negative impact on the(产生消极影响)long-term development of a nation.1）近年来发生在校园的意外事件不断增加，校园安全问题备受关注2）对此我们应该采取哪些措施Campus Security Security issue may sound clichéd, but when it comes to the campus security, we have to take it seriously.Nearly every day, there are reports to the security office on campus that valuable things are stolen away.A surrounding with stealing, mugging

can’t be worse for studying.In such cases, what measures should be taken to improve the campus security? On the one hand, we students should strengthen our security awareness.Once we smell out something unusual, we should report it to the campus guard immediately.On the other hand, more equipment such as monitors should be installed on campus so as to detect crimes as soon as possible.Besides, a proper amount of security guards should be arranged to patrol the campus.In my opinion, campus security will be improved as long as efforts are made on campus.Therefore colleges and universities should try their best to make everyone on campus safe and sound.（总结观点段）

1）公共场合是否应该禁止吸烟，说出你的观点2）论证你的观点Should Smoking in Public Places be Banned? Nowadays many countries in the world have passed laws to ban smoking in public places.Some smokers claim that their rights are infringed if smoking is forbidden in public places.However, most non-smokers regard the ban as good news.As far as I’m concerned, smoking should be banned in all the public places such as restaurants, theaters and public squares.On the one hand, smoking is harmful both for smokers themselves and others.It is reported that every year smoking causes millions of death around the world.On the other hand, smoking pollutes the air.Just imagine that you sit in a restaurant full of smoke, how can you enjoy your meal there? Besides, smoking is bad for the elevation of a country’s image in the world.I believe if smoking is banned in all the public places, most of us will breathe in more fresh and clean air.And the health condition of all the people will be greatly improved.

九 To Be a small Fish in a Big Pond or a Big Fish in a Small Pond?

1.在大企业工作的特点

2.在小企业工作的特点

3.我的选择

Just as there are distinct differences between being a small fish is a big pond and a big fish in a small pond, so it is with working as a subordinate in a large enterprise and presiding in a small firm.With the former, you can derive a deep sense of satisfaction from being a member of a well-known organization such as General Motors, or the Bell Telephone System.You have the opportunities of learning from experienced executives and knowing about the standard working process.With the latter, you have greater responsibilities and your decision may bring immediate effect.Normally you are expose to various experiences and expected to do a great many thing without much help or guidance.Personally I prefer to work in a small enterprise, where my prospect of promotion is good as long as I work hard.To tell the truth , I'd rather become a well-known and important figure within my own small pond.十 Styles of Living

1.有些人愿意和父母居住在一起

2.有些人想自己独立居住

3.我的看法

Some people enjoy living together with their parents after they have grown up.They hold the opinion because , living with parents , they can take better care of their parents and vice versa.Meanwhile , they can turn to their parents for help if they get into trouble or have some difficulties.To them, life in a big family seems to be more enjoyable than that in a small family.Others, however , prefer to live separately.They cherish the idea to be independent of their parents, seek more freedom and wish to have a place of their own, in which they can do what they like.Bedsides , they don't want to be overprotected by their parents but long for chance to face the society by themselves.As to me , I like an independent life style in spite of the fact I love my parents.Different generations have different life styles and values.What one generations likes may not be another generation's fondness.Living separately , each generation can enjoy different value.In addition , by leading an independent life , I can train my character and develop my own ability to deal with things encountered in my life.1.It is indisputable that(无可争辩)there are millions of people who still have a miserable life and have to face the dangers of starvation and exposure.2 No one can deny the fact(没有人能否认)that a person's education is the most important aspect of his life.3.In fact, we have to admit the fact(我们必须承认)that the quality of life is as important as life itself.4.This view is now by more and more people.(正受到越来越多人的质疑)5.The problem of international tourism has caused wide public concern over the recent years.(近些年引起了广泛关注)

6.Despite many obvious advantages of bicycle, it is not without its problem.(但是它也存在它的问题)

7.There is a general debate on the campus today(校园里进行着广泛的争论)over the phenomenon of college or high school students' doing a part-time job.8.According to a recent survey, a growing number of people express a strong desire(根据调查，越来越多的人表达了一种强烈愿望)to take another job or spend more time on their job in order to get more money to support their family.9.There is a growing tendency(呈增长的势头)for parents to ask their extra educational programs over the recent years.10.Although rural emigrants contribute greatly to the economic growth of the cities, they may inevitably bring about many negative impacts.(然而他们也不可避免的带来了一些负面影响)

81.Parents are firmly convinced that, to send their child to kindergartens or nursery schools will have an unfavorable influence on the growth of children.父母们坚定地相信把孩子送到幼儿园对他们的成长不利。

82.However, this idea is now being questioned by more and more experts, who point out that it is unhealthy for children who always stay with their parents at home.然而，这一想法正遭受越来越多的专家的质疑，他们指出，孩子总是呆在家里，和父母在一起，是不健康的。

83.Although parent would be able to devote much more time and energy to their children, it must be admitted that, parent has less experience and knowledge about how to educate and supervise children, when compared with professional teachers working in kindergartens or nursery schools.尽管父母能在他们孩子身上投入更多时间和精力，但是必须承认，与工作在幼儿园的专职教师相比，他们在如何管理教育孩子方面缺乏知识和经验。

84.From what has been discussed above, we may safely draw a conclusion that, although the parents' desire to look after children by themselves is understandable, its disadvantages far outweigh the advantages.通过以上讨论，我们可以得出如下结论：尽管家长想亲自照看孩子的愿望是可以理解的，但是这样做的缺点远大于优点。

85.Parents should be encouraged to send their children to nursery schools, which will bring about profound impacts on children and families, and even the society as a whole.应该鼓励父母将他们的孩子送到幼儿园，这将对孩子，家庭，甚至整个社会产生深远的影响。

86.Many leaders of government always go into raptures at the mere mention of artistic and cultural projects.They are forever talking about the nice parks, the smart sculptures in central city and the art galleries with various valuable rarities.Nothing, they maintain, is more essential than such projects in the economic growth.只要一提起艺术和文化项目，一些政府领导就会兴奋不已，他们滔滔不绝地说着美丽的公园，城市中心漂亮的雕塑，还有满是稀世珍宝的艺术展览馆。他们认为在经济发展中，没有什么比这些艺术项目更重要了。

87.But is it really the case? The information I've collected over last few years leads me to believe that artistic and cultural projects may be less useful than many governments think.In fact, basic infrastructure projects are playing extremely important role and should be given priority.这是真的吗？这些年我收集的信息让我相信这些文化、艺术项目并没有许多政府想象的那么重要。事实上，基础设施建设非常重要，应该放在首位。

88.Those who are in favor of artistic and cultural projects advocate that cultural environment will attract more tourists, which will bring huge profits to local residents.Some people even equate the build of such projects with the improving of economic construction.那些赞成建设文化艺术项目的人认为文化环境会吸引更多的游客，这将给当地居民带来巨大的利益。一些人甚至把建设文化艺术项目与发展经济建设等同起来。

89.Unfortunately, there is very few evidence that big companies are willing to invest a huge sums of money in a place without sufficient basic projects, such as supplies of electricity and water.然而，很少有证据表明大公司愿意把巨额的资金投到一个连水电这些基础设施都不完善的地方去。

90.From what has been discussed above, it would be reasonable to believe that basic projects play far more important role than artistic and cultural projects in people's life and economic growth.通过以上讨论，我们有理由相信在人们的生活和经济发展方面，基础建设比艺术文化项目发挥更大的作用。

2010年12月英语四级经典范文：学习一生的事业

就像植物需要阳光，我们对知识充满了渴求。学习伴随我们成长，让我们感到充实，让我们更加了解生活，让我们能够用所学去帮助别人。你的学习旅程是怎样的?

Learning: a Lifelong Career As food is to the body, so is learning to the mind.①Our bodies grow and muscles develop with the intake of adequate nutritious food.Likewise, we should keep learning day by day to maintain our keen mental power and expand our intellectual capacity.Constant learning supplies us with inexhaustible fuel for driving us to sharpen our power of reasoning, analysis, and judgment.② Learning incessantly is the surest way to keep pace with the times in the information age, and reliable warrant of success in times of uncertainty.Once learning stops, vegetation sets in.It is a common fallacy to regard school as the only workshop for the acquisition of knowledge.On the contrary, learning should be a never ending process, from the cradle to the grave.With the world changing so fast, to cease learning for just a few days will make a person lag behind.What’ s worse, the animal instinct dormant deep in our sub-conscious will come to life, weakening our will to pursue our noble ideas, undermining our determination to sweep away obstacles to our success and strangling our desire for the refinement of our character.Lack of learning will inevitably lead to the stagnation of the mind, or even worse, its fossilization.③ Therefore, to stay mentally young, we have to take learning as a lifelong career.[224 words] 作文点评

本文首先从正面论证主题，首句点题，并通过对首句的解释进一步说明终生学习的意义。之后作者结合时代变化的特征，用the surest way以及reliable warrant说明了持续学习的现实意义。第二段作者从反面来论证自己的观点，说明停止学习会导致的严重后果。最后用therefore引出全文的结束语，再次重申观点，并与文章题目相呼应。

本文开篇引用As...is to..., so is...to...的经典句型开门见山，将学习对心智的重要性比作食物对身体的重要性，生动形象。行文流畅，并能结合时代特征;首尾呼应，画龙点睛。好文妙译 学习：一生的事业

学习之于心智，就像食物之于身体一样。摄取了适量的营养食物，我们的身体得以生长而肌肉得以发达。同样地，我们应该日复一日不断地学习以保持我们心智的敏锐，并增长我们的智力。不断的学习像是为我们的前进提供了用之不尽的能量，驱使我们磨砺自身推理、分析和判断的能力。持续的学习是在信息时代中与时俱进的最稳妥的方法，也是在无常变化的时代中求得成功的可靠保证。

一旦学习停止，单调贫乏的生活就开始了。视学校为汲取知识的惟一场所是种常见的谬误。相反，从生到死，学习应该是一种无终止的历程。由于世界变化日新月异，学习过程停顿几天，就会使人落后。而更为糟糕的是，蛰伏在我们潜意识深处的动物本能就会复活，削弱我们追求高尚理想的意志，弱化我们扫除成功障碍的决心，并且扼杀我们净化自身人格的追求。缺少学习将不可避免地导致心智的停滞，甚至更糟，使其僵化。因此，为了保持青春永驻，我们必须将学习当作一生的事业。
